Homegroup not found, cannot join. Win 8 pro and Win 7 router wireless.

I have problems of shared resources between computers.  Niether is able to join another, and it's been long that I have configured my original network.  It seemed to work with two windows computers 7.  Now, I've updated my desktop for windows 8 pro computer and who ceases when it is started to win 8 and now 7 as well.

I have windows 8 pro desktop connected to a router that is connected to an internet modem.  The laptop has windows 7.  While both allow me to group residential creat, they cannot see eachother.  The router is a N a... it does not resemble the laptop uses IP6 even if it is installed and it happens to the internet just fine.  They seem to be on the same subnet.

The MS Fix it is broken and does not work.   If someone wants to give an overall suggestion, it would be appreciated.  I've been MCP on several levels, including networking... but that was years ago... so it doesn't have to be overly simplified... but I need my memory is jogging unless it's something completely new. (Yah, win 8...)

Thank you

Kevin

PS. summer didn't beat my brain in research online and to try different settings, passwords by leaving the house band... no luck.  Not even when the two are primed to windows 7 now.

Hello

Thanks for posting in the Microsoft community forums!
I understand that you cannot join Windows 8 computer with Windows 7 wireless router. Provide us information.

1. which antivirus software is installed on the computer?
2. you receive an error message on the computer?
3. don't you make changes on the computer before the show?

Follow the advice given and check if that helps:

Method 1:
Try the suggestions from the link:
Why I can't join a homegroup?
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/why-can-t-I-join-a-HomeGroup
Why can't I access my homegroup?
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/why-cant-I-access-my-HomeGroup

Refer to the steps from the links:

Homegroup from start to finish
Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus on each machine.

Make sure that third-party firewalls are disabled. Sometimes antivirus programs also come with firewall software. These programs can block connections and help you connect to a homegroup.

Once this is done, run HomeGroup. See if it works.

Enable or disable Windows Firewall
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
NOTE: turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers.
Disable the anti-virus software
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks

If the problem persists, feel free to let us know. It is our pleasure to be of service.

    In your function mouseDownHandler target you 'e.target.loader', however, e.target is a Loader and Chargers have no property loader.

    Try just "e.target" instead since this should be your code is looking for.

    var my_thumb:Loader = Loader (e.target);

    Although you might find you need to use "e.currentTarget" instead since e.target can point to the content of the loader instead of the charger itself

  • Portege M800 - WLan not found after installing Win XP

    I recently "downgraded" my M800 ppM80A - 03H 009 to XP, everything worked fine except the wireless no longer works. "."
    I installed the PROset utility it gives the message "State of adapter not found in the registry.
    The Device Manager gives the yellow exclamation and error (Code 10).

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers from the Toshiba site.
    I ran System Mechanic to check the registry problems.

    Any suggestions appreciated
    Paul

    Hello

    I searched the internet for similar cases and it seems that this happens to more people using Win XP. It s is not serious what laptop you have looks like Win XP question with respect to certain wireless network cards
    However, I ve had Win XP and Intel WLan card and never had such problems.

    Here's my recommendation;
    -Go to the Device Manager and remove the WLan card in device list (press DELETE)
    -Download CCLeaner (free tool) and clean the registry
    -Visit Toshiba WLan portal and download the latest version of the driver for the wireless network card: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
    -Restart the device and then install the driver Wlan card.

    Good luck

    Hi Jaz70,

    First of all, it would be interesting to know if another disc would work. Perhaps your CD/DVD drive doesn t work properly so she wouldn t read any type of disc.
    Check this box!

    In addition, you can try to clean the disc or let's say the lens using a microfibre cloth. Sometimes it works

    If you buy a Microsoft Windows disk it won't cost $500. ;)
    These discs are not so expensive.

  • Rename files causes the "Object not found" error in Windows 7 Pro x 64

    When I go to rename a folder (location doesn't matter) I get an 'Object not found' error with options to "Try Again" or "Cancel". If I click on 'Retry' the same error. However, when I click on 'Retry' after that it indeed proceeds to rename the folder. I do not know what causes the error, I just installed Windows 7 a week ago.

    The error box contains the following text:
    This item was not found.

    It is no longer in . Check the location of the item and try again.

  • "File not found" - cannot use Windows

    I was rearranging some files on my Mac, and since I restarted merger, I get the "File not found" error when you try to start Windows. During the conversion of the records, I was still able to use the Fusion and windows, so I don't think that there is no problem. I'm fairly certain that I did not remove the file for Windows & Fusion, but now I can't use Windows and I am in desperate need of it. Here's what I see. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Screen Shot 2013-03-29 at 1.42.41 PM.png

    The default location to store the virtual machines is ~/Documents/VirtualMachines.

    You have moved the file vmwarevm of Windows 7 to another location.

    If you remember to move this file to another location, you must manually navigate to the new location and open the file (Windows 7 vmwarevm). Merger will create a new entry in the library and you will be able to access Windows 7.

    If you don't remember the location, try searching Windows 7 or Windows 7 vmwarevm in the spotlight.

  • Drive 1 not found, cannot enter the bios or boot menu.

    I hope you guys can help me with a problem. I have a workstation t5400. A few days ago it stopped booting. I get a disk 0 not found: Serial ATA, Sata 0. On the bios boot screen, I can hit f2 and it says its set of entry towards the top but just goes back to the drive not found error. I tried to change the cables, tried plugging the drive into another port (which I do not know is actually activated because I can't get on the bios). I know for a fact that the drive works. I replaced the motherboard battery. I wouldn't be able to get into the bios without any installed readers?

    Any help would be a life saver. Thank you

    Morgan.

    Thank you. I unplugged all readers but that did not work at first. It took me ten minutes to realize I should probably remove the battery for a second. I finally had no error! messages and means able to enter setup. All disks have been disabled. That makes sense to me because 0 is enabled by default and it wouldn't give me a not found error if the port has not been activated and that I should still be able to access at least bott settings.

    Anyway, problem solved. Thanks for the help. I still want to know why he messed up.

  • Cannot install the Premier Pro and after effects CS2

    I'm having trouble installing Adobe CS2. I use the "no validation" version to https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs2-product-downloads.html because the software I bought doesn't validate not because he is too old. I was able to install all programs except for Premiere Pro and After Effects. I extracted the files for first Pro first because it's a zip file. On these two programs, opens the configuration and I confirm the English as the language, and it continues for about a second and then goes and closes completely. He will not continue the installation, it comes close. All other files that I downloaded from this page properly installed. Any ideas? I really need to use these two programs. Also, I need the Extras_2 because I the Premium version, but the list of files is only Extras_1.

    Here's an update: I found another download site and download these two files that does not have, and this time they installed properly, so I no longer need assistance in this case. Thanks to everyone who offered help!
